Saving Sessions / Demand reduction thread

Just came through for me too. It's annoying though as I often start force discharging at 8.30pm, so my baseline is -3.09kW.
 
nice site! my baseline is -0.02. i normally discharge just before 2130-2330, so, hopefully it never coincides with a saving session :D
 
-1.1kwh is my baseline but that’s mainly because there is solar generation at this time still. I should be able to export the full 6kwh potential of my battery plus some solar.
 
Mines -2.8 kWh, I'm usually exporting excess battery from 16:00 to 23:25

Currently exporting at 7.6kW or there abouts.

Another saving session this evening between 8pm-9pm. (Use less electricity and earn 93 Octopoints.)
No idea if it's regional.

its to manage the tail of demand at that time of day where demand is dropping off but solar generation is dropping off even faster.

There isn’t quite enough sun/wind but spinning up a gas fired power station for an hour isn’t exactly cost effective. Post 9pm, wind will be picking up all the heavy lifting.

Best you come and live were i do.....theres defo enough wind 1500ft up in the welsh mountains. Currently reporting around 15/20mph and the 3 wind turbines i can see from my home office window arent even spinning.

Maybe thats why there is no saving session here tonight.

Ive now received a saving session email....crazy as its blowing a hooly currently and forecast to do so for at least the next 3 days. (Above 12/13mph)

Paying the public to use less leccy
Paying the generators marginal rates
Paying the renewable generators to not produce leccy...

The mind boggles

Gas and wind are both 34%, we are buying 1.4gw from Norway but selling 0.4 to the Netherlands, 0.7 to Ireland, 0.7 to Denmark and 0.1 to Belgium during a savings session....

Edit: France is at 0.6 which is basically off for that interconnect. Normally we would be buying at 4gw
